Subject: Re: many clients, one room
Many moons ago when we used Cisco IOS APs for our new WLAN, we would
create picocells (knowing that the term means different things to
different people) by turning down the power to 1 mW, and also adding an
attenuator between AP and antenna to further restrict output power. Then
we'd basically fill large auditoriums with 3-5 of these, depending on
the size of the venue. It worked wonderfully for supporting a couple of
hundred "casual users" on 802.11b and then g.
Fast forward to LWAPP.

Lee,
How is your LWAPP network configured for these hogh-density areas?
Do you have everything set to defaults? Do you disable 1,2,5.5MBps data
rates? Do you tweak any of the RRM settings like DCA refresh interval
or power thresholds?
